Poussay (French pronunciation: [pusɛ] ⓘ) is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France.
Inhabitants are called Porsuavitains (from the Latin version of Poussay, Portus Suavis).
The commune is positioned on the plain that adjoins the Vosges. The countryside is diverse, combining a large number of residual hillocks with the valley of the River Madon. The village itself is sited on a raised shelf on the left bank of the river in the Madon valley, 2 kilometres (1 mi) to the north of Mirecourt. It overlooks a meandering section of river set in a richly watered arboreal tapestry of that includes willow hedges, poplars and alder.
